Limited Release

2008 Alexander Valley Tempranillo

The Artesa Limited Release Tempranillo from the 2008 vintage hails from the picturesque Alexander Valley, a region known for its exceptional winegrowing climate. This captivating red showcases a full-bodied character, complementing its vibrant acidity that brings a delightful liveliness to each sip. The fruit intensity is pronounced, revealing rich flavors of dark cherry and blackberry, elegantly layered with hints of plum and spice. Tannins are notable, providing a firm structure that enhances the wine’s complexity and aging potential. With a dry profile, this Tempranillo is a splendid choice for those seeking a bold yet refined experience, making it a perfect companion for hearty dishes or special celebrations.

Region:


Sonoma County
Sonoma County

Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.
